Yellow Permit Beware – Currier is Returning!

I’m about 15 minutes the longest journey I’ve ever done repeats itself.  Last year I fished St. Brandon’s Atoll off the country of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.  Today I’m headed back with some South African friends.  I have some unfinished business to tend to.  Last year I didn’t get my Indo-Pacific permit, better known as the “yellow permit”.

It’s a four day trip to get there.  At 1 pm I fly to Salt Lake City.  At 5 I fly to Paris.  I arrive Thursday at 11 am Paris time then at 4 pm fly to Port Louis, Mauritius.  I arrive in Mauritius at 5:35 am Friday morning.  On Saturday I board a boat and we travel deep into the Indian Ocean approximately 30 hours northeast to St Brandon’s Atoll.  The goal is to make first cast by Sunday night.

I expect to report briefly once I arrive in Mauritius but once out to sea there is no internet.  But, as always I’ll be writing my day by day accounts and will load them upon my return.
